The lecturer in the listening argues that while people think bonobos are so gentle and kind, wild bonobos are not that peaceful animals. Meanwhile, the writer in the reading passage contradicts this.
To begin with, the fact that bonobos never fight is false. To be specific, some researchers have seen that bonobos shaked their fists and threw objects. This casts doubt on reading passage’s claim that bonobos hate to fight, and they like to communicate with each other gently.
In addition, the lecturer claims that the reason why bonobos don’t attack young bonobos is they are usually with their parents. If young bonobos are seperated with their parents, old bonobos are likely to attack them. This refutes the reading passage’s claim that it is great to watch adults and young bonobo’s close relationship.
Lastly, the lecturer says that chimpanzees are forced to be vegetarians because of humans. If bonobos live in a same environment as chimpanzees, they definitely hunt other animals and eat them. This contradicts the reading passage’s claim that bonobos always eat fruits, leaves, and nuts that are from trees. |
